THE STORY BEHIND SWITCHBIRD
I never once imagined starting my own small business but here we are! It all started a couple of years ago, after speaking with an English student of mine. During our individual lessons together, she explained that she was sent to Malta to study English and follow an internship program by her university, which obliged her to experience life working in an English speaking country. So, she came to Malta with all of her life savings, most of which she invested into her internship training program.
Being a student of a business university, she was very excited and looking forward to experience her three-month internship program in Malta. Unfortunately, her excitement was soon shattered as she found herself in a local tourist attraction park where her role was selling entrance tickets and dressing up in themed costumes to entertain children, barely having to communicate in any language, let alone practicing English.
This is how the idea of Switchbird started to develop. I believe everyone deserves only the very best service. This is why I make it a point to individually interview all of my clients and make sure they are matched with an internship program that is fitting, interesting and satisfying to their needs. Something that will inspire them, help them grow, and challenge them.

“We take pleasure in being a small business that can give our clients all the attention and care they need. We believe that this statement reflects our loyalty and dedication to our clients.”
After having spent a number of years working in the ESL (English as a Second Language) industry, Michelle had the idea of starting this business. After being asked for advice and assistance, she decided to work directly with students who wanted to find a temporary internship while studying, or after having relocated to Malta. In her teaching experience, she met many students who would request private lessons focusing on interview training and work related topics.
